Education & Experience

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and bring a strong foundation in trauma-informed and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and integrate it effectively in my work with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, and attachment-related challenges. My training in trauma sensitive yoga enhances my ability to incorporate body awareness and mindfulness into the therapeutic process. In addition, I have completed Level 1 in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy which informs my work with couples around communication, emotional connection, and conflict resolution. Furthermore, I have received training in working with neurodivergent populations, including ADHD and autism spectrum presentations to better support emotional regulation, executive functioning, and self-acceptance. My clinical experience includes working with individuals presenting with depression, anxiety, trauma, and both active and passive suicidal ideation, as well as relationship and attachment difficulties. I also place strong emphasis on cultural sensitivity and awareness, ensuring that therapeutic interventions are adapted to each client’s unique cultural, spiritual, and social context. I am skilled in conducting comprehensive risk assessments and developing collaborative safety plans to support clients experiencing acute distress or suicidal ideation.
